I found my way here via the inspiring TheRawDance who has been my reason for looking into the raw food lifestyle in the hope that it can bring me a new lease of life. I have suffered from eating disorders for many years and due to those have a heart condition and also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and an intolerance of light but I have seen the enthusiasm Johnny and others here on this site have for raw food and I want to give it a go myself to see if it can give me back some of the lust for life I have lost.
I could do with some advice of where to start, what to buy first etc so would value any advice before I go out and start shopping. At the moment I eat virtually no carbs but have experimented with making my own smoothies before but know very little about using raw grains so any advice is most welcome. :-)

I soaked some oat groats for 12 hours and then added some cinnamon and a bit of honey and ate them and they were very nice. I also made a raw wrap using collard green leaves putting mushrooms, corn, alfalfa, avocado and bean sprouts in but I did add a hard boiled egg for protein so cheated a bit there.
As for my name.. do you mean Draco? That is actually my real name, I changed it a few years ago as myself and my partner are professional Malfoy impersonators. :-)
Its good to meet you. I’m now on the hunt for some coconut water and flax crackers as I am used to eating slim fast protein bars and now am trying to cut them out of my diet. :-) How are you doing?
